	std::cout<<"MPH -> FPS"<<std::endl<<std::endl;
	std::cout<<"MPH?  ";
	std::cin>>mph;

Enter the number of miles. 10
The number ofmiles per hour is 0
The number of feet per second is 0


Consider this:

int a=5, b=100, c;
c=a/b;

5/100 is 0.05, which is type float, but is truncated because it is being assigned to type int. Apply this problem to yours and change your code based on it.
